Over the past few days, I have been rediscovering some music I grew up with. Mahalia Jackson, who I think was the greatest gospel singer of all time, played on my mom’s LP player until I thought I would wear it out. Here is one of her classics. My iPod is gospel-happy now.
I got shivers when she sang the first few notes. What a gift she had.
I need to make you a copy of this:

My dad used to play this every Sunday morning.
